Sienna’s beautiful face was filled with shock.“Sir York. With your talent, you’ll be able to contribute much to the country. Let me invite you…”“You’re too kind, Mr. Rudolph.”“I told you, I’m no doctor. I only know the Art of Killing.”“There’s always someone well-versed in a certain field.”“I just got lucky. I managed to save Elder Torres in a field that I’m good at.”Before Sienna could even finish her sentence, Harvey lifted Rudolph up.“Elder Torres has been suffering for many years. He’s steadily recovering right now, but he still needs time to rest.”“I’ll leave it up to you now, Deathbuster.”Harvey then turned around and left.Harvey had no interest in getting close to the daughter of the top family.After all, there were just too many princes and young masters lining up for her.Harvey didn’t want to go against every single one of those people.When he left the Number One Manor, Harvey’s connections in Flutwell were raised to a whole other level.Before, with
“Did a man invite you?” Harvey asked instinctively.“No! It’s a woman, duh!”Xynthia giggled.“I’m an adult now! I know how things work!”“If it was a man, I would’ve rejected the invitation on the spot!”“Anyway, I heard that some of the most outstanding young masters and ladies of Flutwell’s business circle will come today.”“The friend who came to talk business with our company is the organizer of the gathering. She was the one who invited me.”“I couldn’t decline the offer. I wanted to help Sister with her business, after all!”“That was why I accepted it.”“But I’m not too familiar with the place…”“That’s why I can only ask you to come with me!”Xynthia put on a pitiful look.“There aren’t a lot of people who know you here, anyway.”“Besides, we can’t just fight our way up the ranks, right?”“People say that business is made through relationships. I think they’re absolutely right!”“Let’s fight for Sister’s future together. Alright?”Xynthia started swinging Harve
Diana slowly took off her sunglasses, revealing her seductive eyes.But a distant look could be seen on her face and she glared at Harvey.The fact that she came all the way here made it seem like she was afraid that Xynthia wouldn’t join the banquet.Upon realizing that, a profound smile made its way to Harvey;s lips.“I invited you to the banquet for our sake, Xynthia.”“How can you be so rude?”Diana’s expression worsened when she saw Xynthia tugging on Harvey’s arm all lovey-dovey-like.“If Young Master Burton knows that you’re bringing an outsider with you…”“He’ll be upset!”“There’ll be consequences, you know!”‘Young Master Burton?’Harvey looked at Diana after hearing that name, curious.He realized that Xynthia wanted him to tag along so he could be her shield.However, he wasn’t angry about it.Ansel told him that the people from India were most likely involved in the situation that got him framed.Though it seemed like they were only going after Xynthia, Harv
Not only was Eli a tall and handsome man, but Diana could also feel a special aura out of him. She knew that Eli was an elite at first glance.Eli’s family was also considered to be quite wealthy back in India. The family specialized in making generic drugs. Eli became a true top talent by following in his family’s footsteps.It’s said that with Eli’s strength and skill set, he would’ve had way better achievements if it weren’t for the caste system restricting him.Even Frankie looked up to Eli.Frankie was the vice chairman of the Bharata Business Council.A man like that looking up to Eli was enough to prove a lot of things.In any case, Harvey was nothing compared to Eli. Eli was in another league!Diana believed that Harvey had no right to get close to Eli, no matter how impressive Harvey actually was.But after seeing Xynthia so determined to follow Harvey wherever he went, she had no choice but to bring the both of them along.“Let’s get in, Brother-In-Law.”Xynthia fel
“I brought Xynthia here for her to see a young master from India!”“Auntie Yates agreed to this too!”“You showing up here will make the young master extremely unhappy!”Diana’s face was harsh.“You shouldn’t be here!”“Here’s fifteen dollars! Get yourself a cab and some food!”“Just treat this as a freebie!”Diana then pulled the money out of her purse and flailed it around arrogantly.Harvey’s eyes turned cold. He was about to shove the money right into the annoying woman’s mouth when he was interrupted.Xynthia came out soon after, preventing him from doing so.“You’re still not coming in, Harvey?”She held onto Harvey’s arm, afraid that he would flee the place once he had the chance.“Harvey said he’s feeling unwell, and that he’s just about to leave.”Diana thought that Harvey was scared when she saw that he didn’t react to her threats. She then pulled out some more cash and threw it at Harvey.“Is fifteen dollars not enough for you?”“Here’s a hundred and forty d
Diana smiled sweetly, as if she was ready to lay right on top of Eli.“I’m so sorry for ruining your fun by being this late, Young Master Burton.”“Heh, heh, heh! What are you saying, Diana?”“It’s my honor to have you here!”“It doesn’t matter if you’re a little late.”Eli took a sip of his champagne before his burning gaze fell on Xynthia.“And this must be Xynthia, right?”“Right. That’s her,” Diana replied.“Xynthia Zimmer of the Jean family’s ninth branch.”“Other than being extremely well-known on the internet, she’s also a university student! She’s as pure and innocent as a child!”“You’ll be having fun tonight, Young Master Burton.”“I see. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Zimmer.”Eli happily reached out his hand, a determined look on his face.“I’m Eli Burton. I come from a family of Vaishyas.”“You might not understand the caste system in my country. Let me explain…”“Us Vaishyas are born to be businessmen and have immense wealth. You should be able to understand no
“Oh?”“Ex-Husband?”“A shield?”“I see. Interesting!”Eli looked as if he realized something. He looked at Harvey with narrowed eyes filled with disdain.“It’s good to use your brain more frequently.”“A gentleman knows when to quit, after all.”“I’m warning you: don’t try to be a hero.”“If not, a low-class human like you will die a horrible death.”Eli’s calm words were filled with harsh threats.Xynthia was glued to Harvey’s arm, making Eli extremely jealous.“Harvey’s my boyfriend!” Xynthia exclaimed determinedly.“Stop insulting him already!”The crowd burst out laughing.A woman from a big family and a kept man…They were from completely different worlds, but Xytnhia kept saying that they were together.Who would believe her?“Stop making such a lame joke, Xynthia.”Eli chuckled disdainfully.“How could you lower yourself to his class?”“He has no right to be with a goddess like you. Right, everyone?”The crowd laughed again at Eli’s words.‘A worthless man
The crowd was shocked after hearing Harvey York’s words.They did not believe an outstanding woman like Xynthia Zimmer would be with such a worthless man.Harvey chuckled, as if he was planning to take things a step further to prove himself.“I know that you people don’t believe me. If that’s the case, I definitely can do more!”Harvey hugged Xynthia’s waist and gave her another kiss.This time, he did not actually touch Xynthia’s lips. He was stage-kissing, just like in the movies.To the others watching, the pair seemed to be having a passionate moment with each other, but in reality, they only touched cheeks.But even so, this display was quite shocking.Xynthia was about to pass out.She would never be able to explain the situation if her mother and sister knew about this.She knew full well just how Lilian Yates would react.She would never allow her daughters to be with some worthless b*stard…Let alone Harvey.“You’re insane, you b*stard!“You people from Country H
While Clarion and Harvey were talking, the Origin Sword Style elites were already slowly coming closer.600 feet. 300 feet. 150 feet!As they drew closer, everyone could see their murderous expression. Their firearms already had their safety off. One could also see there were no longer any gaps in their encirclement.With how things were going, the only two options for Harvey and his men were to either get killed or to simply surrender.As they drew closer, not only was Clarion sweating, but all his bodyguards also had cold sweat on their foreheads.Only Harvey wasn't doing anything. He simply narrowed his eyes as if he was quietly calculating something. When there were only 60 feet left, he suddenly said, "You have two seconds."Harvey suddenly slammed his foot on the ground.Boom!A powerful shockwave extended outward, and all the Origin Sword Style elites surrounding them were subconsciously stunned. The shield they were holding momentarily left the ground."Warsong! Fire
At Clarion's order, all his bodyguards immediately dragged out several black suitcases. Within were black holes with blue bullets. It was obvious these bullets were created to be used on Martial Arts elites. The damage they could deal was beyond anyone's imagination.The bodyguards stood in front of Harvey and Clarion with the suitcases, ready to fight their enemies to the bitter end.When the Origin Sword Style elites saw how Harvey and the others reacted, they took out a shield and placed it in front of them. It was obvious they were prepared.Or perhaps, it was easier to say that the Origin Sword Style elites already knew what they had prepared.Clarion's expression darkened. "How did these fools manage to guess we're here with the Warsongs?"Harvey narrowed his eyes. "Is there a possibility that they didn't make a guess, but instead already received news about how many people we brought and what kind of weapons, so they could make preparations for us?"Clarion was stunned. "W
Boom! Boom! Boom!There was a string of explosions in mid-air. The bolts had also been engulfed by the explosion. Even after Harvey had managed to negate the attacks, he didn't stop. He grabbed the rocks from the ground with his hand.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!Several elites hidden in the shadows instantly lost their fighting skills."He really is a True Warrior," Clarion muttered when he saw what happened. He wasn't even sure what to say.He thought he should be able to put himself to some use this time, hence why he asked to come with Harvey. He didn't expect Harvey to be so powerful that he needed others at all.Very quickly, all the attackers gathered. It was obvious they knew they couldn't do anything to Harvey anymore."These people are from the Origin Sword Style!" Clarion said seriously after he looked at what the attackers were wearing. "They're quite troublesome. While they look like they're over-the-top, they're most likely sacrificial soldiers. But the problem is t
"Of course, if we can maintain absolute discretion, we can escape without alerting anyone once we find Ms. Mandy," Clarion said, remaining positive. "That way, we don't have to fight and draw the attention of those who hold power in Sky Plane."Harvey was sitting in the van. He frowned and looked at the buildings with clear Island Nation influence. "Since Daichi is blackmailing me using Mandy, that means they're confident we won't be able to take her away. I believe we'll have to fight with those from the Origin Sword Style today."Harvey gave it a thought for a while and said, "And don't you think that the information Vaida gave us is too accurate? As if someone left behind an opening for us."Clarion's eyes widened. "Don't tell me this is a trap just for us?"Harvey shook his head. "Not only for us, but also for Grand City. If we're really stuck here… It doesn't matter if we're killed or captured alive, we'll become the excuse for them to attack Grand City. This time, we must…"
Sky Plane's countryside, Clover Hotel.In the Clover Hotel's VIP area, a mansion at the edge of the hotel, Mandy was looking outside with a deep frown. At this time, someone gently knocked at her door from the outside."Come in," Mandy said.The leader of the security team, Seven Jean of the Jeans of Mordu, came in. He bowed to Mandy with respect before saying calmly, "Ms. Mandy, according to the information I've received, the women you've saved have been sent out of Sky Plane. I've also confirmed the people we came into conflict with. He's Yamamoto Sora, scion of the Origin Sword Style."The school's status is very high in Sky Plane. While we managed to get some protection for the time being, I believe we won't be able to make this disappear so quickly. Our visa only has an effective duration of seven days. Once the time is up, Sky Plane will have an excuse to remove all the security here. We'll be in danger when that happens."I think we should leave Sky Plane immediately whil
Mandy reacted very quickly, as if she understood something. She quickly said to Harvey through the phone, "I'm on the sixth floor of a hotel! I…"Before she could even finish, Daichi had already hung up the call with a tap. He then gave Harvey a meaningful look. "There are some rules you should keep, Mr. Harvey. Otherwise, if the people from Sky Plane's side have a misunderstanding, I can't tell what will happen next."Alright. Let's get into the main topic. Ms. Mandy is very safe right now, but I believe that her safety can only be maintained for two to three days. My men can't continue protecting her without a good reason, right? "Once it has been confirmed that there's nothing here that I want, my people who maintain her protection will be pulled back immediately. No one can tell what will happen after that."Daichi gave Harvey a dry smile. "That's why you'll be in control of Ms. Mandy's life and death. We are people who keep our side of the deals. We hope you can maintai
Harvey's expression was calm as he said coldly to Daichi, "No matter how good and logical you make it sound, the truth is, you're threatening me. Rather than being threatened by the Sky Plane, why don't you stick around and be my hostage for an exchange?"As soon as Harvey had finished saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. A piece of wood immediately fired out from the table and pierced into the chair's backrest, just next to Daichi's ear.However, Harvey was in for a surprise. Even in a situation like this, Daichi was still able to maintain his calmness as he continued to enjoy his meal. It was as if the one about to die here wasn't him.Once Daichi had chewed his food slowly and swallowed it, only then did he smile at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, or Mr. Representative. Do you really think fighting can solve everything? It's true I'm from the branch family of the Ruling Royal Family and the blood of royalty flows in my veins, but there are too many like me. So many that I am eas
"Most importantly, this matter with Ms. Mandy happened in Sky Plane—which means outsiders can't enter quietly and save her," Daichi said to Harvey with a smile. "But don't worry, Harvey. We know Ms. Mandy is yours, so we'll find a way to keep protecting her. How to protect her and for how long would depend on your sincerity, though."Harvey's expression was cold as he said slowly, "And here I thought you'd tell me you'd do everything to protect Mandy, making a show despite how shameless you are. I didn't expect you to be so direct—in threatening me! If I refuse your request, Mandy will immediately fall into Sora's hand, right?"Daichi smiled faintly. "You're indeed a perceptive and decisive man. It makes things easier for me to work with someone like you. I will tell you what you need to do—or perhaps, it's easier for me to say what price you need to pay for Mandy's return."Daichi took a final bite of his fish and said with a smug smile, "It's simple. Give me the Chapter of Ascensi
Daichi smiled faintly and said, "I know very well that in the eyes of people like you, Islanders like us are detestable. Speaking with us, working with us, and even eating a meal with us is quite disgusting, right?"However, we must all learn to be patient. It has already happened for quite some time. Is there a point in rushing through these few minutes? It's better for us to share a good meal and have a chat afterward."Daichi slowly partook in the meal, putting a piece of fish into his mouth and chewing slowly. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Harvey, his eyes filled with subtle amusement.Daichi found the meal before him quite enjoyable. He also found himself quite satisfied looking at Harvey showing a hint of irritation."Looks like you really think that you have me under control," Harvey said coldly. "But I can tell you that by just sitting here, my patience is already at its limit. I have a habit, too. Rather than being threatened by someone, I prefer t
